Ricky Hatton: "I'm The Draw, Not Mayweather"

[Wiley Hyena]

there will be more limeys buying this fight and watchin in attendance than americans.

Hatton's right about the excitement factor, IMO.

[feed-the-goat]

None of them are a big draw. Only in the gay community. Kostya Tszyu would knock them both out in the same night in his PRIME. He would be a much bigger draw as well. Twice as many fans as both them overated idiots put togeather.

wheres tszu got twice as many fans, would that be in his home country of russia

Who cares who the draw is. We all know Hatton will lose anyway.

no u think he will, I think he wins

[toe to toe]

of course a mayweather fan doesnt want to here the truth that hatton is the real draw for this fight. no one would pay there hard earned money to see a marathon.

if this fight was in the uk and on at 4am in the usa, how many peeps would stay up over there watching floyd?
There will be 1000's watching Ricky over here and across the world there will probably be more people watching it because of Ricky rather than Floyd. That makes Ricky the bigger draw

In a recent interview with Sportinglife, Ricky Hatton took shots at the drawing power of WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. The two men will collide at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on December 8. HBO pay-per-view and Sky Box Office will televise. [details]

Hatton has always been right about that.

Because he's in it.

Let's put it this way...

Ricky seems to be getting bolder with his choice of words by the day.

Has he discovered a secret technique to beat Floyd?

Perhaps, more like a way to cut the ring off more effectively and attacking to da body. More likely, something Floyd has already seen before.

What I'll venture to say is, Ricky's stock will certainly rise in the U.S. if he puts on a heck of a performance even if he loses.

I tend to think many fighters improve their fight game after fighting a better skilled opponent.

And if by some stroke of luck they end up defeating the champ in front of an electrified PPV audience, when the odds were against them, lifting the title belt is only the beginnning of their stardom.

Ask Carlos 'TuTu' Baldomir how great that feels. He'll tell ya's.

[Easy-E]

The USA has a Population of 300 million.. The UK 60 million.. so PRO RATA .. Each UK buy is worth 5 USA buys...

Only the hardest Floyd FanBoys will refuse to accept WHO the more Popular fighter is..

Ricky Hatton is more popular in the UK and Floyd is more popular in the USA.
Your own numbers tell the story of who has more fans.

This fight will not be fought outside the ring.
Its inside the ring is what matters, not this bull****.
